Ugh….I put a disclaimer up for four chapters, I am not putting up another one!


Chapter Five: Truth about Shigeru


I was hot and sweating, but I was cold and shaking this contradicting state was making me numb, Every bone in my body aced and it was hard to breath. A bright light all a sudden turned on over me, I closed my eyes tight but then there was a shadow covering the light, when I opened my eyes it was a familiar face, Ash and he was chewing on something right over me I jumped up with out a thought, but the second I was up I slammed back down on the table I was laying on, the pain grew worse.

"ughh" was the only sound I could make.

"HEY! Your alive!"

"uGhh.."

"that was quite a fall, eh?" Ash asked eating something

"UgHh.."

"hey, this light bothering you?" Ash asked and moved the light to the other side of the room.

"uGHh"

"Maybe I should call a doctor you don't look so swell…….." that's all heard and once again I passed out.

When I woke up I heard different voices all around me, I could barely see it was all foggy. People peered over me time to time but did not directly speak to me. I fell back asleep a few minutes later.

"ASH YOU IDOT! what have I told you about coming in here and touching all the buttons??" Misty screamed.

"gee….sorry Mist." Ash said a walked out of the room. I

felt much better and I could see clearly, I was not in so much pain anymore, so I tried to get up. Witch failed and I landed on the ground witch felt like it was 4 feet from were I was laying.
I groaned and got back up on the bed, I sat up and wait for some one to enter the room.
But no one came, I was looking around the room, it was a hospital room alright, it had a long cart on the other side of my bed and it was full of needles and bottles of fluids, I turned white to the thought of what they had done to me.

My arms were swollen and covered with band aids, my mouth tasted like plastic and I smelled bad. My hair was greasy so I started to wonder how long I slept, and I need a shave. Minutes passed, then an half of an hour.

I finally decided to get up, luckily I was in a hospital and from experience I knew were they kept the crutches, under the bed so I rolled off of the bed slowly and dropped to the floor, it still hurt. I grabbled out four crutches, trying to see witch pair would math my height, on each crutch was a height make and I found one the was an inch shorter than be.

"I suppose this will have to do." I said to my self trying to lean my weight on the crutch to pull my self up.

Success!

I was a bit shaky at first but I got used to them. The gown I was wearing uncomfortably to tight, especially when that is all you have on.
The halls of the hospital were empty, it looked like a plague had passed through. All you could hear is

*clink*

of my crutches. I wobbled down another hall way and saw a few familiar faces.

"Hey, guys!" I yelled, as every one looked at me and stood there like they had just seen a ghost.

"umm..guys?" Misty ran over;

"how long have you been up?? How did you wake up?? Misty kept asking these questions like I
had disappeared and came back four years later.

"what are you talking about?? I was only asleep for a few days…right?"
Brock, Ash, Oak, and Delia walked over and examined me.

"Well his pulse is normal, but you have to get back in to bed. Delia said.
They came with and put me back in bed, I was so confused.

"how long have I been asleep?" I kept asking

"calm down! What is the last thing you remember?"

There was a pause,

"I was giving a speech and I fainted or something…" I answered

"so how long have I been asleep?"

"ok, every one out Shigeru needs his rest!" Delia said as she closed the curtains around my bed and sat in a chair.

"were is the doctor?"

"I am the doctor, and I am very surprised that you remember that Shigeru." Delia said as she wrote stuff down on her clip board.

"how long have I been asleep?" I asked the final time.

"you really want to know?"

"YES"

"5 months"

My jaw dropped, I froze there turning to Delia.

"Shigeru, close your mouth."

"Why do you call me Shigeru?"

"Because that is your name, Artticus re-named you when he gained custody of you."

"What are you talking about?"

"don't you get it? Shigeru, *she sighed, and gabbed my hand* I am your mother…."
